Silvana Martinez

My communication style

My style is calm, approachable, and engaging. I aim to balance deep listening with active dialogue, helping our sessions feel like a genuine conversation rather than a formal interview.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to this work through a deep interest in understanding human behavior and supporting people through difficult life experiences. Over time, I found myself especially committed to creating spaces where people feel safe, respected, and not alone in what they’re carrying.

My goals for you

We start by identifying what matters most to you and what change would look like in your daily life. From there, we track progress together, explore what’s getting in the way, and adjust our work so it stays aligned with your goals.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping to get out of it, and any questions you have. I’ll also ask some background questions to get a clearer picture of your needs, and you set the pace the whole time.

I identify as...

• Female
• Hispanic or Latinx
• Atheist
